2025 - New Freebies from CEF

To start off this year's new treasures whatever they all might be, here is a very basic pose for the beautiful cat skeleton. I used it to test out the concept of making it into a skeleton to fit inside the Daz House Cat, turning the skeleton into a clothing piece and thusly enabling it to pose along with the Daz House Cat. The transparency of the house cat was turned down to enable seeing the skeleton inside the cat.

Required program: Daz Studio
Some knowledge to get an .obj file out of and back into D/S. I use Hexagon.
Step1: Apply Pose to Skeleton, somehow get the .obj out of D/S.
Delete skeleton from scene.
Somehow get .obj back into D/S.
Load into the scene the Daz House Cat.
Unselect everything. Use the Transfer Utility to turn the skeleton obj into a clothing figure. For bones I tried the Actor:Follower which seems to work just fine. Use whichever option you find works for you.
Yes to "remove the prop" IF your edition of D/S has that.
When done, BEFORE messing around with the cat, select the skeleton clothing and save it to your own 'private' folders. {one cannot share such derivative products}
Providing that one has not renamed the surfaces etc, the original mats can be used on your skeleton clothing.
The pose attached to this post is very basic. You can tweak it as desired BEFORE exporting out the .obj file.
n.b. The importance of deleting the skeleton from the scene after export, is to prevent the incoming .obj file having "(2)" added to the name and surface areas ;-)

Just a brief tutorial, running a basic drape using the timeline to deal with poke through.
Tyou Catherine3678ab, your tutorial are really Helpful!:)
Thanks all :-)
Okay now, some were wanting shaping presets for G9, basic feminine and basic male, so I made 3. The third one is a removal of base f/m however I left the belly button one on. IF you want to use it with no belly button, change the "1" to a "0" and save again the file. [do that kind of thing with D/S closed] You can put these where you please, I would suggest in the Contents folder in with the loading icon for G9.
While I'm not American I have been watching some of the um, show. As the Presidental set of morphs in here have yet to come down in price to my hobbyist's budget I have yet to acquire them all. There are some hilarious skits on the video channels with regards to one of the new American um, orders. So for those who have the concerned characters who may have some use for making their own skins, I have made one palette .png image here [based on a base colour promoted online]. If the browser tries to webize the image, save as: file type any & add ".png" to the end of the name of the image [call it whatever you want to].
eta: me el swifto, was looking in wrong basket! THANK YOU Daz3D for putting the 2 bundles on sale at such a great price :-) Had to purchase something new of course so also got the new lady with 29 jCMs!
